Shares in Rocket Companies jumped over 70% today, and that optimism is also reflected in the options market:

RKT stock was one of the most active stocks in the options market yesterday with total volume of over 365,000 contracts. Call option volume outpaced puts by a ratio of 6-to-1. Overall volume was nearly three times higher than normal.
